👉 A tripunctal, also known as a punctilious person or a picky eater, is someone who is very particular about food and often eats only what they have prepared themselves. They may be excessively picky, requiring everything to be exactly right in terms of taste, texture, color, and presentation, and may refuse even basic food items that are offered. This can lead to frustration and inconvenience for others when trying to satisfy their dietary preferences or make arrangements with them.
